I thoroughly enjoy many of the Beeb's dramas, documentaries, science, nature and wildlife programmes and Watchdog-type shows. And I used to trust implicitly their News reports. (I'm not so sure about the latter nowadays). I would certainly miss the BBC channels if it folded.

I still think of that poor young bin lad. I expect he can't even afford a TV licence. Maybe his mum pays it if he lives at home.

Two million quid eh?! How much blooming money does anyone need per year??

I see today that some of the 'underpaid' women TV presenters are getting stroppy and are going to sue the Beeb. I suppose equality of pay is important.
